A few
weeks ago in my Instagram story I posted the question box telling you all to
“ask me anything” and let me just say, due to the time of year there were a
whole lot of question enquiring about what college I went to, my major, college
must-haves, etc. I wasn’t ignoring your questions about college, but since I
had so many questions about college I thought I would wait a few weeks and turn
your questions into a blog post.
Although
college doesn’t seem like it was that long ago, it was actually about 9 years
ago for me…{I feel old just typing that} so I may not have the most relevant
answers to some of the questions I was asked, such as ‘what were my college
mush-haves?’ but I’ll do my best to stay as relevant as possible. But let me
just say, I am a little sad that I missed the dorm room headboard trend, by
like a year. If you’re getting ready to start your first year of college I
would 1005 recommend getting on board with that one, mainly because it would
just make a really cute picture to look back on.
My
College
I went to
Libscomb University, a liberal arts university, located in the heart of
Nashville. I know…I know… I am from Nashville…but if your city is overflowing
with respectable colleges don’t rule them out just because they may be a close
to home. You can be as much in or out of town as you want, and I honestly
discovered a different aspect of Nashville and even did some of the corny
tourist things.

the basic questions out of the way here! I was an Education major
Advice
For Living With A Roommate
-
If
you don’t have to go potluck for a roommate, try to room with someone who has
the cleaning and sleeping habits as you.
-
As
hard as it is to get over, you can’t tiptoe around subjects you aren’t happy
with. Be polite and respectful, but address the ‘big’ topics
-
Establish
ground rules
-
Be
friends outside of the dorm room
-
Always
be ready to offer a listening ear and be supportive of each other
-
Occasionally
do something nice for your roommate just because
What Was
Your Favorite Part of College
Friends.
Honestly, it is important to make good grades in college, but you aren’t going
to think back on the nights you stayed up late to study or write a paper;
you’re going to remember those nights that were supposed to be a quick dinner
or happy hour, which somehow snowballed into a very late night
College
Essentials
And we
have arrived at the question that might date me…
-
Dorm
beds alone are pretty basic and uncomfortable, invest in at least 1 memory foam
to put on top of your mattress and nice bedding
-
For
movie nights and late study nights you definitely need snacks on hand
-
Phone
charger and computer charger – you never want to be without one
-
Chap
stick – between walking to classes and dorm air conditioning your lips are in
constant need of chap stick
-
Pictures
– they are the best way to make a dorm room feel homey
-
So
long ago, can’t think of anymore…
Did You
Study Abroad?
No, but I
really wish I did; all my friends who studied abroad loved the experience and
still talk about it. If you are even semi-interested in your school’s study
abroad program I vote that you take part in it!
